F.A.Q.

Will Bridgehead customers want to audit my factory before my
cheese can be sold?
If you are going to supply a line under your own brand it will normally not be necessary for a site audit to be conducted. However, if you wish to supply a supermarket brand or a line for their delicatessen counter a factory audit will be required and you will be expected to fund this which will cost in the region of £1000 plus expenses.

If I make any changes to my products in anyway would I need to inform Bridgehead?
Yes, for all changes no matter how small they may seem, Bridgehead will have to submit a newline form for most changes that you will make. The product information details will need to be updated in Sainsburys systems and we will then advise you when the new format can be delivered into depot. Failure to notify us may result in stock being rejected at depot or invoices not being paid.

I want to put forward some lines that I think would be good for Christmas, when would this be appropriate?
Many large organisations start to plan Christmas in January /February . It is an ideal time to review what has worked or not worked in the previous year. Sign off of Christmas lines is usually completed by June and Christmas brochures featuring the range prepared in July.
